As can be seen from the above message, there is no action
associated with the targets. As a result nothing is getting
done under these two directories m4 and tests.
The same thing happens when I do make install. It is cribbing
that there is no suffix list and as a result the m4 files are
not getting copied or installed.
I am not sure whether it is an error. But automake perl script
gets installed under /usr/local/bin.
When I run automake with --version option to check the version
it gives the foll. error:
syntax error in file /usr/local/bin/automake at line 3227, next 2
tokens "push_dist_common ("
Execution of /usr/local/bin/automake aborted due to compilation errors.
